Overlooking rolling green fields and grazing horses to the rear, the property combines timeless character with exciting potential for sympathetic updating.
The welcoming Entrance Hall features practical tiled flooring and useful storage for coats and boots, setting the tone for the warm and inviting accommodation throughout. To the front of the property, the Study enjoys views over the driveway and mature planting, complete with exposed beams and fitted shelving, making it ideal as a home office or library.
The Dining Room provides an elegant setting for entertaining, with ample space for a large family table and additional furniture. At the heart of the home, the impressive Living Room is filled with natural light and centred around a striking bronze-effect fireplace. Generous proportions allow for comfortable seating and display furniture, while patio doors open directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond.
The country-style galley Kitchen blends traditional charm with practicality, featuring a Kitchener 110 range cooker, wood-effect units, pale green sink, integrated wine rack and a traditional larder cupboard. Beyond the kitchen, the bright Conservatory offers a versatile additional reception area with direct access onto the terrace and gardens.
Upstairs, a turning staircase leads to a bright first-floor landing with high ceilings that enhance the sense of space throughout. The principal Bedroom enjoys beautiful far-reaching views across the surrounding fields and benefits from extensive fitted storage and a private vanity area. Bedroom Two is a generous double with built-in wardrobes, while Bedroom Three provides flexibility as a child’s bedroom, nursery or guest room. The Family Bathroom features a classic white suite and enjoys delightful views across the gardens and countryside.
The detached Garage/Outbuilding provides exceptional versatility and is currently arranged as a store and creative studio, offering excellent potential for a home office, gym, workshop or hobby space.
The beautifully established gardens are a true highlight of the property.
